Omaha Gross Catholic – Class B Team Preview (Girls)

Previewing an upcoming season is never an easy task. To do so properly takes countless hours of emails, observations, statistical research, conversation, and reflection. Adding onto that difficulty are challenges, such as a cancelled 2020 season and lingering COVID restrictions, making our preview preparation feel almost impossible.

Despite these obstacles, the approaching 2021 season and its participants – whether that be players, coaches, fans, or families – deserve some semblance of normalcy. Soccer in Nebraska and all those who participate deserve to be promoted. Over the course of the next several weeks, NEST will overview EVERY high school soccer program in our state. This was done to the best of our ability using all of the information we could collect.

Nebraska Soccer Talk is here to support many fantastic teams, coaches, players, fans, and referees that make our game possible. One mission of this venture is to discover and centralize newsworthy information. This can only be done in collaboration with individual programs. As a whole, our sport must better promote itself in order to grow the player and supporter pool. We encourage every team to proudly and consistently advertise itself to us and the general public. The more information available, the more our game will grow. Soccer is a game historically left behind to linger in the background in the United States. That circumstance is changing, but that change will not happen automatically. Growing and covering all aspects of our sport will take effort from all of those who love it.

Disclaimer – To prepare for these articles, a questionnaire was sent to every school’s head coach and athletic director. Many of these questionnaires were returned in a timely fashion, others were not. Nebraska Soccer Talk prides itself on equal and in-depth coverage, but cooperation is needed to meet that goal.

NEST Analysis – Although lacking individual name recognition for now, Hastings is a program that looks to contend in 2021. Many programs aim for the current position of Hastings, as they have posted back to back eleven win seasons. Even more impressive is that this achievement is due to a complete team effort, not just a singular player. Opponents will soon find out that playing this team, especially in Hastings, is no easy task. This is a program that routinely punches above their expected weight. As the season progresses, players are sure to emerge, and we will be there to cover them. A standard of performance has been set in Central Nebraska. Hastings will begin the season the #7 ranked team in Class B.

While many might not immediately recognize the skill level, their opponents certainly will once the ball is in play. Earning a double figure win total in 2019 is an impressive milestone and sets the expectation for the future. To truly garner the attention of Class B, this program looks to showcase themselves at the state tournament in May. For the 2021 season, Gering will begin as the #8 team in Class B. From the Metro to Western Nebraska, the game of soccer is being played at a high level.

NEST Analysis – When it comes to Class B, there are several programs that are in the same circumstance as Conestoga. Nebraska Soccer Talk needs more time to observe and learn about this team. To give attention and promotion to these teams and players is a major purpose behind our site. Talent can be found everywhere in the state of Nebraska, and Conestoga is no exception to that fact. We look forward to interacting with these programs and providing them coverage. A few things that are known about Conestoga are that this is a program in need of a revamp and identity. They were able to find more success in 2019, which is a positive sign that can be latched onto. The Cougar players have an opportunity during the 2021 season to put their program on the map. Further proof of progress will do a great deal for the outlook of this program.

In recent years, more and more talent has been coming from this area. It is starting to become a soccer hotbed in the middle of Nebraska. Kearney Catholic is a beneficiary of that system, and the program has progressed accordingly. In the past, the Stars have struggled to field a competitive team but that is changing as evidenced in 2018. Although the outlook is positive, Coach Amer Arram still has work to do at Kearney Catholic. 2021 could be another year building block for this project.

NEST Analysis – This is the first year of existence for the Elkhorn North boys soccer program. For those in the program, this is sure to be an incredibly exciting time but also a period of detailed work. A result of district growth, North will face many challenges that other programs simply do not have to consider. For one, this will be one of the youngest varsity squads in the entire state. Rightfully so, a grace period will be extended to the Wolves just as there is with any MLS expansion team. Coach Fred Doscher will have the responsibility of building this new program. An experienced and well respected soccer mind, Coach Doscher is a good fit for the task. He would also be an incredible interview for Nebraska Soccer Talk, as few have been in this position. On the field, there are a few Wolves that grab our attention. Jack Vokt, Logan Hanigan, Michael Grigsby, and Jon Doschet are all great building blocks for the future.

More of the same is expected in 2021 as the Shamrocks look to win the Clash of Columbus.

As a result of that belief, Columbus Scotus enters the 2021 season as the #6 ranked team in Class B.
